Matius 6:19

Lasting Treasure

6:19 “Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth ⁴  and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.

[4:5]  ¹ sn The order of the second and third temptations differs in Luke’s account (4:5-12) from the order given in Matthew.

[4:5]  ² tn Grk “and he stood him.”

[4:5]  ³ sn The highest point of the temple probably refers to the point on the temple’s southeast corner where it looms directly over a cliff some 450 ft (135 m) high. However, some have suggested the reference could be to the temple’s high gate.

[6:19]  ⁴ tn The term σής (shs) refers to moths in general. It is specifically the larvae of moths that destroy clothing by eating holes in it (L&N 4.49; BDAG 922 s.v.). See Jas 5:2, which mentions “moth-eaten” clothing.
